priority 1Reconstruct streetsAllocate funding for the reconstruction and widening of Huguenot Avenue between Rathbun Avenue and Drumgoole Road West.

priority 1Allocate funds for outreach services to homebound older adults and for programs that allow the elderly to age in placeThe South Shore's growing senior population would greatly benefit from expanded programs and services that allow older adults to remain independent and engaged in their communities.

priority 1Provide a new NYPD facility, such as a new precinct house or sub-precinctThe 123rd Precinct is over 100 years old and no longer meets the operational or community needs of Staten Island's South Shore.

These conditions contribute to high turnover anCity response (Police Department): Agency supports but cannot accommodate
